Here it is at the dealer, just before he loaded it on the trailer. More pics to follow as I get them off the camera. (Not real computer literate)

Wow, that's going to be a digging beast. Have fun.

I'm jealous of your cab!

 

[TripleR]

Congratulations on your new rig; very nice indeed.:thumbsup:

Now that looks like a hometown dealership as I remember them!

 

[kiotiken]

I just noticed the signs at your dealership. Landini, McCormick and Kioti. I guess your choice comes down to blue, red or orange!

Schweeet! :thumbsup: Congrats.

Nice setup, that cab will be nice for your summer and winter seasons.
Looking forward to more pics.

Nice ride...you'll love it I'm sure. I know I really like my albino dk35 cab and shouldn't have waited so long before getting a cab tractor.

OH NO! The boom cylinder has a leak! The return fitting weld is cracked. I got ready to pop out a stump. Backed up to it, put the stabilizers down, released the boom and went to dig beside the stump.

Suddenly, in the sunlight, I see a rainbow in front of me! Dealer said he could have one by Thurs/Fri. Oh well, the tree has been there for 75 years, another day or so wont hurt.

I thought that kind of stuff only happened to me.

Ok, I promised you pictures!

Ya, dug the bucket into the ground and, pooooof! Hydraulic fluid spraying everywhere!

Kinda surprised the dealer didn't notice that when they set the BH up.

He said they messed around with it for about 20 min. Crack seems to be under the paint. Little chip blew off when it started. Rust under the paint chip.

That sucks about the leak. Very nice place you have there. If you ever need somebody to haul all that pesky white cedar away for you (they're really just weeds right?), you just let me know
